The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for the Coachella Valley through Monday night.

On Monday, the valley was among communities across Southern California that were placed are under a flash flood watch through midnight.

There's a 50 percent chance the valley will see showers on Monday, forecasters said.

The chance of showers and thunderstorms will persist through Wednesday with a high of 89 and a low of 72 during the earlier part of the week.

The alert specified that the Cottonwood Visitor Center at Joshua Tree National Park was expected to see flooding. The NWS also warned that Interstate 10 could see flooding between mile markers 74 and 86.

"Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding," the agency advised.

The NWS also issued a small stream flood advisory for Riverside County Sunday night and said Mecca, Chiriaco Summit and Box Canyon were likely to experience flooding.

Flash flood watches were issued across Southern California Sunday as thunderstorms spawned by Hurricane Rosa moved through the region.

The showers will likely persist until Wednesday and will bring cooler temperatures to the Coachella Valley for the first part of the week.
